A UFO researcher shared an unsettling message on social media before his death.
David Wilcock died on April 20 at a location near Nederland, Colorado, with early findings suggesting he died by suicide.
Wilcock, 53, was a prominent figure in UFO-focused research. He authored multiple books on the topic and ran a YouTube channel that attracted more than half a million subscribers.
Police attended the address after receiving a report involving a mental health crisis.
According to a report, officers found Wilcock was ‘holding a weapon’ and, during the incident, he ‘used the weapon on himself’.
Authorities later checked the home and nearby properties and did not locate anyone else.
News of his death has prompted widespread speculation online, fueled in part by his UFO-related writing, including titles that reached the New York Times bestsellers list.
In the wake of his death, an older post on X resurfaced from December 11, 2022, in which Wilcock stated he did not have suicidal intentions.
He wrote: “I plan on LIVING. Not suicidal at all. Just concerned about what happens when you prove God is real.”
The message has circulated widely again, becoming a focal point for social media discussion about the circumstances surrounding his death.
One person wrote: “The people that know the truth are being knocked off.”
Another posted: “This is a bit weird, isn’t it?”
Wilcock’s bibliography includes works such as The Source Field Investigations, The Synchronicity Key, and The Ascension Mysteries, alongside his significant online following.
He repeatedly urged the US government to be more transparent about UFOs and the possibility of extraterrestrial life.
I plan on LIVING. Not suicidal at all. Just concerned about what happens when you prove God is real.

Confirmation of his death was shared on April 21 by Florida Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, who wrote: “We just learned of the tragic passing of David Wilcock.
“We are praying for his family and loved ones and the millions of lives he impacted.”
Beyond books and social platforms, Wilcock also worked with the History Channel, appearing on-screen and serving as a consulting producer.
That included involvement with the 2009 series Ancient Aliens.
The show, built around the theory that ancient civilizations may have been influenced by alien contact, explores claims about extraterrestrial life, the supernatural, and a range of other conspiracy theories.
